DEADSLEEP

1998. One soldier makes it back. They put him under, his bed wired to HYDRA.

Shoot your way down through his dream.
Die in there and his heart stops on the ward.

COUNT BACKWARDS FROM TEN.

DEADSLEEP is a retro horror FPS roguelike. Every descent is built anew from hand drawn rooms: corridors you have never walked, bodies tearing out of the walls, and a keeper behind his counter who takes payment in teeth or blood.

FIGHT

• A pistol, a pump shotgun and an assault rifle, each with grotesque variants and tricks of their own
• Your fists when the rounds run dry, one on each mouse button
• Feed your gun your own blood: harder hits, faster fire, for a few seconds
• They come out of the walls, out of the floor, out of holes torn in the air. Every kill comes apart into pieces of its own body
• A style meter that ranks the way you kill

MOVE

• Slide at full speed, jump out of the slide and keep the momentum
• Kick off walls, grab ledges, climb
• Stamina pays for every slide and every kick: keep moving or bleed out

BLEED

• Your blood is your health. Your lungs hold air that takes the blows first
• The dead spill their teeth. The keeper takes them as money
• Short on teeth? He takes blood too. So does his door

DIG

• Over 200 items that stack, pair up and turn a run upside down
• Walls that sound hollow, cursed doors, an altar that wants sacrifices
• Pacts you should never sign
• Bosses guarding the way down, and something older beneath them
• 42 hidden documents, a riddle, and three endings for the ones who dig
